BRISTOL.

Elder Selden, ON Sunday, was again
on the subject of missions, and called
attention to II number of remarks in
the Bible about giving and keeping
back from giving. I expect they have
heard just that same thing many
times, and they keep about just the
same. Well. that church does pretty
well on that subject, and yet they
might mend. There are some things
they might give to which seem to es-
cape their notice, but folks cannot
remember everything. you know

Hoods Brigade.

The annual reunion of this gallant old
command will be held at Barton Springs
next Monday, when an oldtime barbecue
will be given-such as delighted the gray
haired veterans when they were boys. The
remnant of the home company-the Tom
Green Rifles-have not spared pains or
trouble to make the occasion a pleasant
one for the veterans, and there will be an
abundance of all the enjoyables on hand
with which to whet appetites for the in
terchange of short, delightful yarns
of the campfire that carry men
back to other days. Hon. Joe d.
Sayers, congressman from this district,
has long been due a talk to the associa-
ton and will discharge the obligation in a
brief address next Monday. Then, too,
Major Martin, "Old Howdy," who, outside
of General Robertson, "Old Polly" as his
soldiers lovingly called him, is the sole
surviving field officer of the brigade in
Texas, will be on hand, and will give a
hearty handshake to the boys.
1t is expected that there will be from
100 to 125 members of the old brigade
in attendance at the reunion, while ar
rangements are being made for the en-
tertainment of fully 5000 guests at the
barbecue.

A Good Record.

The Mineola Monitor has the following
to say of its late editor:
"The former editor of the Monitor, Mr..
d. G. Williams, leaves this week for Aus
tin and San Antonio in search of health.
1t was the rapid decline in health that
caused Mr.. Williams to sell out the Monitor
and seek a more favorable climate. He
has edited a weekly paper in Mineola for
ten successive years, and under whatever
name it appeared it was noted for its neat
appearance, and bright, attractive reading
matter. 1t is with regret that his many
readers see him retire from the editorial
tripod. We sincerely hope that he may
find the health he seeks and so much
needs. We commend Mr.. Williams to
those he may meet in his sojourn from
home as an elegant and accomplished
gentleman"
Mr.. Williams is now spending few
days in this city with his mothers family,
after which he will visit Boerne and other
points west.

ASPARAGUS FARMS.
How They are Conducted and What are
Their Profits.
ISpecial Correspondence.l

special Correspondence
New York, June 1S.-lf you go down on
Long Island to MattinecoclS-cock of the
morning, if not of the walk-which is a
part of Oyster Bay, you will see asparagus
farms Of ten, fifteen and twenty acres, with
men busy cutting the delicious vegetable and
women in board houses punching it.
Not many who eat asparagus know any
thing about how and where it is raised. The
seed originally came from Holland. 1t will
grow in any soil, in the crevices of rocks or
along the shore, where the sea spray breaks
over its roots; but, of course, it grows much
better and earlier in well drained sandy loan.
The growers in England often have 100 acres
of it, but in this country no one has ventured
20 plant more than twenty acres in aspara-
gus. Even then moderate fortunes are made
out of it.
Asparagus natures in five or six years.
Cultivation has greatly altered its size, as
we'll as quality. In its wild stqte it scarcely
ever gets beyond the thickness of q lead pen
cC and tho height of a foot Under cutiva-
zion it goes up four or five feet and gets as
chick as the farmers thumb After the
fifth or sixth year the size of the shoots will
diminish, but their numbers will increase. A
bed lasts fifteen years in good condition, and
can be cut for thirty or forty years, although
Nattinecock farmers generally renew every
ten or twelve years, as it is difficult to df up
q very old bed, tho roots forming network
covering the whole space originally planted.
After cutting, the shoots are laid on the
ground like potatoes, and afterward collected
| into cart and carried to the punching house,
where they are thrown into tubs and
thoroughly washed. They arc then placed in
"boxes" or lunches with the largest shoots
outside to be pressed into shape, when the
ends are cut even, and the whole tied tightly
together.
The "culs" so through the same process.
Some farmers mix the culls with straight
asparagus, but this is considered dishonor-
able, and the reputation Of any farmer doing
30 is seriously injured. The punches are
finally placed in oblong boxes, twenty-eight
or thirty of them being required to ill box,
and shipped to commission merchants with
whom the farmers have made an agreement
for the season at a uniform price per bunch.
The price varies in different seasons from six
teen to twenty cents. This year the prevail
ing price is eighteen cents. L. r. G.
